Elsbeth
9pm, Sky Witness
Giving The Good Wife’s disarmingly daffy lawyer Elsbeth Tascioni (Carrie Preston) her own Columbo-esque “howcatchem”, transplanted from Chicago to New York, is such a no-brainer that you wonder why this spin-off has taken so long. Even better, The Wire’s Wendell Pierce also features, as Captain Wagner, her boss at the NYPD, who recognises that this scatterbrained sleuth may just be on to something. In the first episode, she investigates a suspicious apparent suicide. Ellen E Jones

Will Barnaby and Winter find out whodunnit? Hannah Verdier
Roy Clarke Remembers Keeping Up Appearances

With British sitcoms being principally obsessed with class, it’s no surprise to see the enduring success of Hyacinth Bucket (pronounced “Bouquet”, of course). Her celebrated creator, Roy Clarke – also the brain behind Last of the Summer Wine and Open All Hours – reflects on her legacy and the genius of Patricia Routledge, the star who played her. Ali Catterall
The Body Detectives
9pm, Channel 4
An eerie but cathartic documentary series in which a team identify some of the 1,000-plus anonymous bodies in the UK to bring closure to families with missing members. They start off by looking for George Johnston, who vanished off the Norfolk coast in 1984 while on a holiday with his family after trying to help another family in distress. Hollie Richardson
Battle in the Box
9pm, U&Dave
It’s a fun concept: stick pairs of cracking comedians in boxes and get Jimmy Carr to set them tasks through which they can win their freedom. But while Fatiha El-Ghorri and Josh Jones have a great time in the second episode, Katherine Ryan looks bored stiff with Tom Rosenthal, who asks: “What are we doing with our lives, Katherine?” HR
Fugitive: The Mystery of the Crypto Queen
10pm, Channel 4
Who is Ruja Ignatova, the titular “crypto queen”, wanted by the FBI for a $4.5bn cryptocurrency scam called OneCoin? And, after disappearing in 2017, where is she now? This mind-blowing three‑part investigation starts by meeting some of the first investors in the UK, the US and Uganda. HR
Film choice
An Affair to Remember (Leo McCarey, 1957), 5pm, Film4
Cary Grant is “big dame hunter” playboy Nickie; Deborah Kerr is nightclub singer Terry. They meet on a cruise ship from Europe to New York and, despite being attached to others, fall in love. Leo McCarey’s 1957 film, the inspiration for Sleepless in Seattle, is an archetypically sophisticated romance – all unspoken feelings and significant glances, with the divinely dressed Grant and Kerr remaining (mostly) emotionally mature as their relationship ebbs and flows. Simon Wardell
